I have been doing a bit of thinking about OWL semantics and have identified a number of issues that affect semantics. I have categorized these issues with respect to my view of how they affect work on OWL semantics. Some issues have just been raised (by me). Comments are requested. In particular, does anyone know of other issues, including issues just raised (by you), that directly affect work on the semantics of OWL? Peter F. Patel-Schneider Semantic Issues to be Resolved Issues that MUST be resolved for semantic work to proceed: Issue 5.3: Semantic Layering Without a resolution of the semantic layering issue, no work on semantics is possible. Issue ?: DAML+OIL semantics is too weak This issue is related to the semantic layering issue, and is vital to the OWL semantics. Issues that MUST be resolved for semantic work to complete: Issue ?: Datatypes OWL semantics will have to include a treatment of datatypes. RDF Core is apparently not producing a treatment of datatypes and DAML+OIL datatypes have problems. Issues that SHOULD be resolved for semantic work to complete: Issue ?: Malformed DAML+OIL Restrictions It would be useful to be able to exclude malformed DAML+OIL restrictions, particularly restrictions with extra components.
